PATCH ADAMS,The Inspiring Doctor

When the power of our
technology without ever imagined intervene in human disease, the relationship
between doctor and patient have become battlegrounds. Distrust and disrespect
has been straddling the place that should be filled by the unity and harmony.

Falsehood is the modern
form of the plague: he can kill. So says Matthew A. Budd, M.D. assistant
professor of medicine at Harvard Medical School, in the preface of the book.
That the core of basic human relationships are obscured by the procedures,
technology and regulations.

Similarly, treatment of
the world we've been apart of the things that gives us meaning. In an age when
the power of technology without ever imagine intervene in human disease, the
relationship between doctor and patient have become battlegrounds. Distrust and
disrespect has been straddling the place that should be filled by the unity and
harmony. That we, as physicians and patients, have a greater chance to be
through the worst moments in life when we act as a close friend and mutual

Furthermore, Patch Adams
outlines the relationship between doctor and patient in the context of the
health care system that is experiencing fatigue. Fatigue is a state when people
are not satisfied with their jobs and not enough rest. They've worked too hard
and long; thus eliminating the excitement and enjoyment to help others.

But I refuse to believe
that fatigue is a necessity in medical practice. I believe that health
professionals are not aware of the feeling of fatigue "exciting
potential" in the relationship between doctors and patient. Patient not
hesitate to offer trust, love, respect them and many others to the doctor who
put attentive attitude fun.

The cause of fatigue was
none other than, first, poor communication. Excitement in a relationship will
be lost if a doctor just spend a little time with patients; gone too happy to
attach. Because sharing time is an important element in friendship, without
friendship, working procedures the doctor will feel dry and shallow.

Second, the imbalance of
work time and personal time. Continuously working to force myself for accepting
responsibility can damage one's personal life. Ideally, a doctor should do a
practice in groups of close friends who need each other and love, rest if
necessary, and in collaboration with fellow practitioners colleagues.

Third, if the medicine is
run as a business alone. Patients become consumers, physicians become paid
service providers, rigid and can not share the emotions are very important in
thefriendship. The healthcare closed for the poor and limited to the
others. Relationship with poor patient is not the same as those given in the
rich.

Fourth, the fear of
malpractice claims. Distrust seep into the relationship between doctor-patient
and ruin it. To protect themselves from lawsuits, doctors require their
patients to undergo the procedure and tests are unnecessary and merely
defending himself. Anxiety against malpractice claims also gave birth to the nature
of love to blame the other party, which could be a disease for which a team
approach is very important in health care, and inhibit intuition, creativity
and scientific investigation. Rigid medical practice into practice
"recipe" that is mechanical. Saddest, malpractice situation deny the
right doctor for imperfect.
